Rogaine for facial hair?

I am curious about using rogaine for facial hair. Putting aside not being clinically tested for facial hair, say if I were to use this and it did actually cause some growth. If I stop using it, will it be like testosterone, where your body quits making it on its on because of the incoming testosterone? Will my facial hair never grow again if I stop using the rogaine?

You are correct that Rogaine is not approved for facial hair. In general, if one stops using it they will return to the way the facial hair density used to be. It is unlikely to experience a cessation of growth altogether. Facial hair in men does not reach its maximum until the late 20s or 30s.

Rogaine is a regular use medication. Same as my blood pressure medication. I stop using the medication, my blood pressure goes up. You stop using the Rogaine, your hair goes back to what it was before, or what your body would do naturally.

Hi there! Effects from using Rogaine will likely be temporary. It will most probably stop growing if you stop using it. If you want more information, please visit my site - http://www.foundhair.com/.

Your answer did not answer the question directly. I asked if I use rogaine will my body be able to grow facial hair without rogaine ever. I.e. When genetics kicks in around 25 years of age as it did with my brother, will rogaine stop the growth when it should grow at 25

First of all , you need to check your testosterone level .

You are right that Rogaine has not being clinically tested for facial hair because it is one of the side infect of Rogaine - increase in facial hair growth.

Taking into consideration all of this, you can try to use Rogaine , it can help if your Testosterone Level is within normal range

If you achieve some results with Rogaine , then you should continue using it because if you stop, you will loose most of it.
